Attendees: Doug, Rob, Brian, Giacinto, Philippe, Fabrizio, Paul, Andy, Michele, Dirk

Some points that were raised:
Doug: need to mention also federations that allow writing. Andy agrees on the subject and warns about the tech subtleties that a writeable federation may rise.
Brian: accepts to present at the next meeting something on the line mentioned by slide 13
Andy: need to emphasize the tight links between the concept of storage federations and WAN direct data access, in slide 14
Andy: accepts to contribute to describing concepts about federations monitoring (slide 16). Warning: going into detail will mean going closer to an implementation. General agreement in trying to make more clear the differences between accounting and monitoring.
Philippe: will be nice to have somebody raising skeptical arguments on the subject of storage federations
